A very interesting take, but I am not sure I agree. First, this elaborates the idea on the image generation, but then applies it to all "generative AI", but no argument supports that in the post. As of images, if anything, it was possible before with some good photo editing skills, or even with a good back story for a fuzzy photo (UFOs, Loch Ness Monster, etc.). If anything, I am glad that it is even easier now with the generative AI: I hope it forces more people to think through the novel information and decide for themselves whether they are accepting it or not, or if they want to research further. This is something we would do after reading a blog post, for example, so why would images need to be treated differently? We are too much used to treat the photos as proof or a fact.
